In this episode Dr. Labbe discusses:Introduction:Autoimmune diseases often have invisible symptoms and can fluctuate over time.Common autoimmune diseases include Lupus, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Understanding Autoimmunity:Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.The immune system misbehaves, attacking healthy tissues instead of external threats.Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an example of an autoimmune disease.Causes of Autoimmunity:Autoimmune diseases can be caused by a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and epigenetics.Predisposition refers to certain characteristics that make individuals more susceptible to developing an autoimmune disease.Genetic factors like HLA, p53, and IL10 genes have been associated with Hashimoto's and other autoimmune diseases.Environmental triggers, such as intestinal permeability (leaky gut), infections like Epstein Barr virus, and chronic infections like Lyme disease, can contribute to autoimmunity.Exposure to pollutants, toxins, chemicals, heavy metals, and mold can also act as triggers.Physical or psychological trauma and chronic stress can impact the immune system and trigger autoimmune irregularities.Epigenetics, the study of biological processes that switch genes on and off, can play a role in the development of autoimmune diseases.The Importance of Identifying Triggers and Predispositions:Understanding triggers and predispositions is crucial in managing autoimmune diseases.Functional blood tests and specialized labs like Cyrex Labs can help identify infections, hormonal imbalances, allergies, immune cell counts, and food intolerances.Identifying triggers and predispositions can provide insights into the causes of autoimmune diseases and guide personalized treatment approaches.Recognizing and addressing triggers can help reduce symptoms and improve overall health.Conclusion:Autoimmune diseases require a comprehensive understanding of triggers, predispositions, and lifestyle factors.Identifying and addressing triggers is essential for effectively managing Hashimoto's and other autoimmune conditions.Functional testing and consultations with healthcare professionals can provide valuable insights and guidance in addressing autoimmune triggers and improving overall well-being.Resources:FEELING LOUSY IS NOT "JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER."

Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It’s easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic–we’ve done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won’t experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just with the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 31:20 - Leptin resistance relationship to low carb diets and long term affects of a Keto diet Read "When Not to be on a Ketogenic Diet" 38:00 - When you go low carb for too long 41:30 - Recommendations for food sensitivity tests 42:25 - MRT Food Sensitivity and Cyrex Labs 46:00 - How often should you retest food sensitivities? 49:40 - Thoughts on The Womencode and Digestive Enzymes Don’t forget to join our Straight Up Paleo Pals Facebook Group to chat and ask questions!Send in questions at StraightUpPaleo.com, our email straightuppaleo@gmail.com, or our Facebook page! Also please rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!

Physician Mark R. Engelman MD, FSCM, is here to talk about Autoimmune related conditions, including testing, diet, and lifestyle recommendations.In this episode of the Clean Eating for Women podcast, we talk about:   We are going to talk about the testing company Cyrex Labs. How Dr. Engelman has extensive experience managing autoimmune conditions Testing, diet, and lifestyle recommendations from Dr. Engelman Some highlights of this episode on Fatigue & Autoimmunity with Functional Medicine Physician Mark R. Engelman MD, FSCM: Dr. Engelman came from a medical family in Ohio. He was going to follow in his father's footsteps, but moved to Arizona to get out of the cold weather. He was an emergency medical physician for 23 years. He was the President of the Heart Association,  and he was a mainstream medicine guy. [02:09] He then started a bilingual hospital in Mexico and then worked in China. He learned a lot about Eastern medicine, and then became mesmerized by stem cells. He found a stem cell fellowship. The stem cell medicine got him interested in cellular biology. Integrated medicine is the pathway to how things work. If you know this, then you can figure out what is going wrong when someone gets sick. [03:39] The End of Alzheimer's prior to the 2000s the word was what? Now the new word is why? Why am I sick and how can I do something about it. Integrative medicine is about the why. [06:34] How people see Dr. Engelman after other doctors not being able to diagnose them. How patients have a series of symptoms and sign with a label put on them. Dr. Engelman asks the question of why are they experiencing these symptoms. Autoimmune diseases are always triggered by something. [10:23] The importance of finding a doctor who focuses in on the history of the patient before testing. Regular doctors get a blood panel. Chemistry panel and electrolytes. Get a general idea of how your organs are working. For fatigue, looking at thyroid is an option. These tests can be inaccurate with the spread rates. Functional medicine doctors can hone in better. [13:23] Finding the trigger for autoimmune thyroid problems. First look at the gluten panel on Cyrex. How autoimmune goes after one thing and then goes after your body too. How autoimmune disease is autoimmune activity or a bunch of things happening. [19:18] My immune system has decided to start attacking me. This is about immunology and how we manufacture energy. We have millions of immune cells that feel their way around our bloodstreams and tissue. If our immune system doesn't recognize something from being different from us. Main triggers are hidden allergens, environmental toxins, inflammatory diets, trauma, stress, and pathogens. [22:51] How we have control over our treatments and seeing and finding a functional medicine doctor to manage the disease. Many of these autoimmune diseases are reversible. Finding out what the issues are can help to reverse this stuff. How the barrier gets breached and then our immune systems go after the foreign things and then it makes mistakes. [32:17] The importance of quality sleep and having a healthy gut. Testing for gluten and cross reactivity. Antibodies to new foods introduced to the body. How adding estrogen may balance out the immune system. [37:38] Links mentioned in this episode (some affiliate links included): Cyrex Labs Engelman Health Institute @MarkEngelmanMD on Twitter Mark.

A diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is devastating, and the associated symptoms – difficulty walking, tremors, memory issues – are debilitating. But what if those symptoms aren’t necessarily indicative of Parkinson’s after all? What if a simple diet change could improve or even eliminate those symptoms?  Today Nadine explores anecdotal evidence suggesting that the symptoms of Parkinson’s and other demyelination syndromes might be actually be caused by celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. She argues that as Parkinson’s diagnoses become more and more common, it is imperative that we explore the potential connection between Parkinson’s and celiac disease.  Listen in to understand how gluten can affect the neurological system, why Parkinson’s patients should be tested for celiac disease, and how a gluten-free diet can heal neurological damage.  What’s Discussed:  Nadine’s Parkinson’s patient Diagnosed with celiac disease as a child in the 1940’s Recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Symptoms included difficulty walking, falling, stooped gait, masked appearance, tremors, memory issues and confusion Discovered unintentional gluten exposure in the home Moved to adult foster home to ensure gluten-free diet Many symptoms went away Working with neurologist to wean off Parkinson’s meds Why patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s, ALS and MS should get test for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity Every nerve in the body is insulated with myelin Myelin is made of fat Gluten prevents the absorption of fats Parkinson’s, ALS and MS are all demyelination syndromes The need for research regarding the potential connection between Parkinson’s and celiac disease The University of Chicago asserts there is ‘no published evidence of a connection between Parkinson’s and celiac disease’ Nadine argues that enough anecdotal evidence exists to suggest that a connection should be investigated Nadine’s recommendation for a comprehensive celiac lab test Cyrex Labs tests for 25 of the gluten intolerant antibodies, including tTG-2, tTG-3 and tTG-6 Ask for a total IgA and IgG in addition to the Cyrex Array 3 Insurance should cover the tests Can be ordered by any practitioner Celiac diagnoses in patients over 60 30% of newly diagnosed celiac patients are over 60 Many have neurological issues Neuropathy Headaches Migraines Seizure disorders Difficulty walking Falling Balance issues MS Nadine’s patients improve on a Paleo diet The Stanford idiopathic familial narcolepsy study Entire family diagnosed with narcolepsy Found that family members had celiac disease Adopting a gluten-free diet eliminated the narcolepsy Family now runs organic farm The increasing number of Parkinson’s diagnoses More and more common UK neurological expert routinely tests for celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity How your body heals neurological damage in the absence of gluten Heal intestines Eliminate inflammation Repair immune system Replete nutrient deficiencies Vitamin D Cancer preventative Level should be between 60-80 Indicator of all fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) ‘Sunshine’ vitamin synthesized through skin Must also be taken in dietarily Little chance of overdosing on D3 What your nails can tell you about your health Look for white spots, cracked nails, hangnails May indicate lack of zinc, D3, or B vitamins Dr. Terry Wahls’ MS misdiagnosis Diagnosed with MS and required wheelchair Healed with a gluten-free diet Can ride her bike and walk without a cane Nadine’s story At 40, her symptoms suggested MS Issues with clumsiness (falling, dragging feet, dropping things, difficulty with balance) Problems went away on a gluten-free diet Nutrient deficiencies were causing neurological issues Celiac cerebellar ataxia Caused by lesions on or inflammation of the brain Results in inability to walk straight Tissue can be healed on a gluten free diet  Resources: Cyrex Laboratories Midway Farms La Mancha Ranch and Orchard Dr. Wahls’ TED Talk Dr. Wahls’ YouTube Channel The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles - by Terry Wahls, MD and Eve Adamson  Connect with Nadine:  Instagram Facebook Contact via Email ‘Your Skin on Gluten’ on YouTube Books by Nadine: Dough Nation: A Nurse's Memoir of Celiac Disease from Missed Diagnosis to Food and Health Activism

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! We have 5 more amazing community questions, so let's get right into them: Cassi: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you so, so much for providing all the knowledge and information you share with is and most of all for free. It is so inspiring to see a person do something for the better of society and not only to make a "quick buck." My question is regarding the book The China Study. I know you reviewed this a long time ago, but can't find which episode and was wondering if you could re-review. I'm currently reading the book and just want to know what you think and if every study in it seems trustworthy, etc. Thank you! Aleks: Hi! I was wondering if you had a good probiotic recommendation on the market? I'm a student and need to be smart about my purchases :) Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, I so enjoy your show-it fuels my passion for continuing healing for my body. Through testing it has been shown that my body has the need for Mercury detox, I hve mineral difecency, parasites, and Candida overgrowth. I feel unsure of what would be the first thing to go after and then what would be next and so on. I know that sometimes going after one of these things before the other could be pointless because I am assuming there is an order. Can you help? Thanks! Taylor John: Hi Stephen. I regularly listen to a podcast called the Ben Greenfield podcast, where Ben interviews experts, doctors, etc. He recently brought on a top detox expert named Dr P. Doctor P talked about most detoxes being ineffective and how you have to detox the cell in order to have a true detox.   Jordan: Hey Stephen. I had a question about food allergy testing. I've heard from various doctors, like Chris Kresser and others, who believe Cyrex Labs uses the best method for testing for food allergies. I am just wondering if you've heard of Cyrex Labs and your personal opinion on it. Thank-you Thank you for tuning into this weekend's HouseCalls and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow on the Mindset & Motivation Monday #CabralConcept show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/408 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

How well does your body make energy? How does your body repair? How well are your anti-oxidants working? How well do you rid your body of free radicals? Are you pre-conditioned to crisis? The next generation of lab testing and diagnosis has arrived with resources such as Cyrex Labs and Nutreval.  Thyroid health issues mimic other ailments, such as inflammation, gluten intolerance, and increased permeability (leaky gut).    In this episode, hear from Dr. Engelman, recognized as one of the top doctors in functional integrative medicine, he has advanced degrees and certifications in functional, metabolic, anti-aging and stem cell medicine.

A Whole Health Educator and Personal Trainer from Mountain View, California asked me some questions about the FDN certification and since we get so many questions like the ones below, Tommy and I did a webinar to answer those and more, live. The questions: What health services did you offer before studying with FDN?  How did you integrate your new training into your service offerings at the beginning? Have you been able to use FDN to build a solid/sustaining income and business model?  If so, how long did that ramp up process take? What marketing initiatives/strategies have you tried?  Which worked best/least? Were there additional/unforeseen start up costs? What challenges have you had along the way to setting up business with FDN?  What might you have done differently? What are your thoughts on the current lab testing that FDN recommends, as well as the supplement brands they have relationships with?   Do you find that most of your income from FDN stems from patient sessions or from supplement income?  Some other avenue?
